After 25 years and 5.2B DVD discs later, Netflix is officially ending their DVD rental business on September 29, 2023.  Netflix will still be in operation as a streaming service.

I was packing up a bunch of stuff a few months ago and found the Bill Clinton Grand Jury testimony DVD that Netflix sold for .02 back in 1998. I think it’s the only DVD I ever got in the mail from them…

I'm saddened by this because not everything I want to watch is available on streaming. I still have a list of 30+ movies.

If you’re looking for a ton of DVD for cheap or free, I know a guy with a couple thousand that he needs to dump. (It’s me. I have too much stuff…)

If you're really willing to give them away for free, bring them to the Sunday dinner!

That sounds like a challenge. I love challenges. Let’s see what I can cram into my trunk before I drive down.

I will be doing that challenge myself (albeit with other things). During the lockdowns, I cleared out a bunch of stuff, and came up with multiple WB bags (the massive ones) of swag. I brought some to the Sunday dinner last year, and more will be coming with me this year... as much as I con fit into my trunk.

I stole the copy of Syfy's Alice that I got from them and years later I'm still very glad I did that, because you can't stream that anywhere.

I wonder if some of those DVD only titles will move to streaming (either on Netflix or one of the 18 jillion other platforms).

Now if you're looking for some original Evil Dead DVDs, you've come to the right guy. I even still have a sealed Anchor Bay Book of the Dead DVD from 2002 somewhere around here...

Actually, I think there is an Ash vs ED tote bag in there somewhere... I had a bunch of those from the year you could walk through the trailer at the PetCo Interactive Zone.

I’ll be first in line!  I may have a few DVDs to give away.  I collect over 200 Blu-rays and already have over a dozen 4K DVDs.  I also have about a dozen standard DVDs as well.
